Staff safety: Mining environments are often dangerous and prone to risks such as collapses, high temperatures, toxic gases, and other hazards. By using drones, inspectors can conduct detailed inspections without direct exposure to these risks. Access to hard-to-reach places: Mining tunnels, pits, and other internal spaces are often difficult to access and confined. Drones for internal inspection, with their compact design and ability to navigate in restricted spaces, allow for inspection and exploration of these hard-to-reach areas. Early detection of issues: Drones can quickly survey the internal parts of mines and facilities to identify potential issues such as structural damage, cracks, erosion, or potential sources of danger. Maintenance planning: Precise information obtained from drone inspections enables better planning of regular maintenance and equipment servicing. This helps extend the lifespan of equipment and reduce unplanned downtime. Reduced downtime: By using drones for inspection, mining facilities can minimize downtime and interruptions in production. Quick and efficient inspections enable faster decision-making regarding repairs or maintenance. Improved Infrastructure Safety: Drone inspection helps identify weak points in the infrastructure of mining facilities, contributing to enhanced safety for personnel and operations. Archiving and Documentation: The drone can capture high-quality photos and video recordings of internal spaces, providing detailed documentation of the condition of the facilities. This data is useful for tracking changes over time and monitoring the state of the infrastructure. Reducing the Need for Human Interventions: In situations where human intervention is required, the drone can assist in risk assessment and planning the best approaches for intervention, reducing the need for prolonged and unnecessary human presence in potentially hazardous environments.
